Does changing Adsense could trigger some manual review of the channel?

I’m asking because I’m planning to change the AdSense account on one channel, but I remember that a few years ago when I did this, the channel was demonetized within the same month for reused content, even though everything had been fine before that.

I’d separate the two events. AdSense changes can trigger checks, but that doesn’t necessarily mean the check caused the reused-content issue. If you’re going to switch, make sure the channel is clean and keep screenshots of the current monetization status just in case

I dont think changing AdSense itself means a manual review, but it could be that the channel got checked around the same time and the reused content was noticed.

Yes, it does trigger a review. In fact, even changing the channel’s language, country, or name can trigger a bot review. The channel is then placed in a period of limited activity while the system evaluates it.

Changing AdSense alone doesn't mean your channel will get reviewed, but it could happen around the same time. I'd check the reused content policy and make sure the videos are safe before switching.

The timing might make it seem like one caused the other, but that doesn't necessarily mean there was a direct connection. YouTube can reassess a channel's monetization eligibility independently.

What? in my experience YT doesn't care about what country you set there, not sure about language or name.
